Hi, I am using InkOverlay object placed on picture control. Its an
activeX control using VB6.

I need to do a simple task of deleting part of stroke, that crosses
boundary of control.

I am retrieving coordinates within which ink lies, using
GetBoundingBox Method.
Now I check whether Left or Top values of rectangle are negative. (As
strokes crossing Right and Bottom boundary are automatically
clipped )

If it is so I set rectangle with Left and Top values as zero and
Bottom and Right values with the values retrieved using GetBoundingBox
method.

And here I called Clip method. This works fine sometimes, but
otherwise ink is get placed at wrong position.

Now, suppose I called GetBoundingBox method again, I found Left and
Top values are again negative say -50, -50. Actually I am expecting it
to be zero, as we have set it to zero in
rectangle that passed to Clip Method.

Q1: Can you tell me why it is happening ?

Now if I set Rectangle as 50, 50, Right + 50, Bottom + 50 and then
call clip method. It works absolutely fine.

Q2: Is there any other approach?

Note: I am calling GetBoundingBox method with default parameter

here is code ---

' Get bounding rectangle
Set boundingRect = stroke.GetBoundingBox
boundingRect.GetRectangle inkTop, inkLeft, inkBottom, inkRight

' Check if stroke crosses Left Top boundaries
If (inkTop < 0) Or (inkLeft < 0) Then
' Convert bottom and Right values to Ink Space
Coordinates
Overlay.Renderer.PixelToInkSpace pic.hDC, inkBottom, inkRight
' Call Set rectangle
'Rect.SetRectangle 50, 50, inkBottom + 50, inkRight + 50
' Call Clip method
stroke.Clip Rect
End If

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
